ConnectCreative Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 New to Affinity software and creating my first brochure using a combination of Photo, Designer and Publisher. I'm based in the UK - i've noticed the default CMYK colour profile is set to U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2. Should all leave all three apps as they are or change them to something like Euroscale Coated V2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markw Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I agree with Old Bruce, though I have often wondered why 'US Web Coated (SWOP) v2' was chosen as the default by Serif?

ConnectCreative Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 From what I can recall in my InDesign days I just selected 'Europe Prepress CMYK' or something like that. I assumed there would be something similar in AD/AF/AP ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
